Observations of a Bus Driver: E Book Trilogy Preview
May 22
The
last seven years I’ve had the wonderful experience of being a city bus
driver. During this time I have written thousands of meticulous notes
detailing the nature of human beings. Over the last year I have
categorized, summarized, simplified and removed any meaningful context
from this body of work, thus making it perfect for a blog post. The
implication for personal development growth is staggering.
Keep in mind that each one of these revelations below will be expanded into a chapter in my upcoming E book trilogy that will cost only $29.95(ea)
[ordering details at the end of this post, relax]
Communication:
Most people do not like most other people, but this does not deter them from trying to communicate with each other.
The more you pretend to listen to someone the more they will talk at you.
Many people don’t care if you are listening or not.
People think they are special and don’t hesitate to ask for special treatment.
People often ask questions they already know the answer to.
Compliments are normally forced and mean something else.
It is best to tell people exactly what they want to hear. The wronger the better.
People take much pride in informing you of the obvious. The obviouser the better.
The most interesting conversations are the ones people have with themselves or an apparition.
You cannot convert someone to Christianity on a bus ride.
People that look you in the eye, say hello, and smile are NOT to be trusted.
Happiness:
Old people hate life.
Old people raising their grandchildren hate life more.
Young people aren’t sure if they hate life yet.
Single mother life-hate increases exponentially with each child.
Disabled people hate life almost much as old people.
Mentally challenged people are generally happier than regular people.
High people are happier than drunk people.
Children are like mentally challenged, high people.
Families that ride the bus together, suffer together.
People with no job are happier than people with two jobs.
There is always enough money for beer.
Miscellaneous:
People think they matter and are somehow relevant to your reality.
The multibillion dollar fashion industry has failed America.
People wear Tshirts in the winter and coats in the summer. Yes, some are the same people.
If you are going to wear a Tshirt that says something, stop moving around so everyone can read it.
It is impossible to be a cool dude or hip chick on the bus. Think about it...you are riding the bus.
Everybody loves a good car wreck.

J.D. Roth of The Get Rich Slowly bolg - Check out the interview podcast he did with Duff (featured below). J.D. talks about the psychology behind Dave Ramsey's Debt Snowball. The strategy may work for you. I think you'll like what you hear and want to listen to JD's 2nd interview.

Meet:
Duff McDuffee - He recently started a cool personal development blog called Precision Change. Duff interviews bloggers on his podcast. Here is a bonus link to one of the podcasts I enjoyed:

Hey folks, Dave Ramsey puts out some good info on his radio show to be sure, but his "death before bankruptcy" concept goes too far. He perpetuates the myth that bankruptcy is the end of the world. I filed for bankruptcy a couple of years ago, best fucking financial decision I've ever made. If your ass is in a financial sling, check out this bankruptcy forum and ask questions to help you determine for yourself.
